Oliver Cromwell Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Been talking to a retired head of an optometry department at a large hospital, who told me stripes are the most visible pattern in people's peripheral vision. Perhaps someone should tell Mr Chansiri if we're looking to get any slight advantage over other teams. Could it help influence him? I doubt it.

fatbloke no1 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Not that bothered whether we have stripes but wish shirt numbers where more visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 From a purely aesthetical point of view I really don't like the big stripes And never dreamed of buying the home shirt even when it was fashionable to wear them in the 1980s Quite looking forward to this seasons offering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans are a set of fv.cking puffs! Yeah, I've always been under the impression that Owlstalk was a forum where grizzly beer-swilling heterosexual men's men gathered to discuss weighty issues such as social stratification, gender inequality and the overpopulated prison system. I can't believe we have posters wasting good bandwidth discussing football shirts. What do they think this is - a football forum!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Sports science exists for a reason, get em told - we need stripes. Your mate didn't mention the optimal width of the stripes did he? A couple of inches, an Inch and a half? Come on this is important! Also, the exact shade of blue, we need an exact RGB - be precise!

alan48 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Actually , if anyone remembers , Man U changed their grey shirts at ht when being battered by S'hampton one time and when coaching kids , an ex-player , now ex- coach and manager , suggested we change the dark green training bibs we had for a brighter colour 'cos it helps peripheral vision and players can spot their team mates more easily . So there's probably something in it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 We have an OWNER who doesn't like stripes.End of story! When we've put the amount of money into the club that he has, then we will be entitled to argue with him. It's interesting to note the number of people who were wearing the 'hated' new colours last season. As for football shirts, I can see the point in youngsters having their club's up-to-date kit, it's what kids love to do, but to see the sight of thousands of middle-aged (and older) men in stretched football shirts is not the most attractive sight. And incidentally, I prefer the stripes to last season's offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencerowl Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Here's what I don't get, everyone says the owner hates stripes. why did he buy us then? I'm sure he could have gone for a club without them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
